OK I am in the garden now using my wi-fi (yeah, it IS a real nice day here in the UK!) and the thing is my aerial is in the other side of the house... so I lost signal... that's when I found my naighbours aerial is in the back! 🙂 plus he does happily broadcast his SSID 😉 ... so I thought, why not and connected and all is well, his bandwidth is fine 😀
Thing is when I go back into the house now my own network is not shown as ready for connection 😕
I have even tried re-adding it, but it seems not to pick it up - any ideas anyone?
I think I know what I shall do, which is plug in my actual network cable to the machine later - that always seems to sort it. I am just curious as to how I would go abolut it if I really wanted to switch between the two... because inside the house, at the front, his signal drops real low whilst mine becomes excellent!
Thanks for any advice - and before any mod or anyone jumps on me I have indeed alerted my neighbour to the situation and we are going to talk about it sometime when he has a moment (he's more a noob to networks even than me 😉 )
